“Legend is not a title John McDermott would readily embrace, but his accomplishments have become legendary in recording industry lore. He calls Toronto and Boston home, but he has also found a home as an international recording star and household name – known as much for his successful musical career as for his commitment to veterans’ causes. He is a long way from the man for whom singing was a hobby less than ten years ago. John was discovered quite by chance, when working as a circulation sales representative for the Toronto Sun, he belted out an impromptu rendition of “Danny Boy” at a company party."

John McDermott is a national wonder! He has an amazing voice. His renditions of songs touch one's heart. He is always genuinely pleased to talk to his fans. He is a very caring person as demonstrated by his dedication to veterans' cause both in Canada and in the United States.

John McDermott is a wonderful, amazing singer who tells wonderful stories about the origin of the songs. His concerts are fantastic--such charisma and such power in that voice. Many miles have been travelled to be in attendance at his concerts! His work for veterans is legendary.
